THE
POWER OF THE ROSARY
The
word Rosary means Crown of Roses. Our Lady has revealed to several people
that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and
that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen
of flowers and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore
the most important one. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because
within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary, in fact,
we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary.
It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we can all say
together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to
pray for us. Our Lady always grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours.
Therefore it becomes ever more useful because what Mary asks She always receives.
Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition,
the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon
against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer made together with
Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change
of hearts and conversion. Each day, through prayer, you can drive away from
yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils. It can seem
a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two sweethearts who many times
say one another the words "I love you". The Blessed Holy Father
John Paul II on 16 October 2002 with the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis
Mariae on the Most Holy Rosary has added five new mysteries of the Rosary
- the Mysteries of the Light. "Say the Rosary every day. Pray, pray a
lot and offer sacrifices for sinners. I'm Our Lady of the Rosary. Only I will
be able to help you. In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph." Please
remember, the Prayer of the Rosary is prayed every day before Mass during
the week starting around 9.35am. Everyone is welcome!
JUST
FOR A LAUGH …
Here are some of the funny things that you can read in parish bulletins.
• Everyone is excited about the upcoming wedding of Steve and Melody. They
are having a country style wedding. Everyone is invited to join them as they
exchange cows in the church courtyard on 7 June.
• Remember, we'll be gathering with other area Churches for the singing in
the park on Sunday night. I want to remind the choir and all sinners to be
at the park by 4.30pm. for a warm-up and sound checks.
POPE FRANCIS ASKS US TO PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY
Pope Francis, on 7 October 2018 - the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary - renewed
his call for daily praying of the Rosary during October. "Today, the
Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, I renew the invitation to pray the Rosary
every day of the month of October, ending with the antiphon 'Under your protection'
and the Prayer of Saint Michael the Archangel, to reject the attacks of the
devil, who wants to divide the Church."
THANKS
Marie Cairns and family would like to thank everyone for all the cards, Mass
cards, sympathy, kindness and generosity shown to them on Ronnie's death.
The wonderful sum of £1125 was collected for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
A Thanksgiving mass will be offered for all your intentions.
EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR PARISH
Sincere thanks to our cup-cake bakers for the Eightieth Anniversary refreshments
last weekend. Three hundred and fifty cup-cakes were baked and not one was
left over. Thank you for all the hard work!
HOSPITAL CHAPLAINCY
If a member of your family or a friend is sick, please let us know and give
us the details. Deacon Bill Corbett (01292 521208, 07904 248948, Rev.BillCorbett@btinternet.com)
is the chaplain to Crosshouse Hospital and is assisted by the priest on call
each week.
20-40 NETWORK MURDER MYSTERY NIGHT
Are you aged 20 to 40? Our 20-40 Network events are a great place for meeting
fellow young Catholics. Come along for coffee, cake and a side order of crime
to solve on Friday 19 October at 7.00pm at Bianco Nero, Paisley. Ticket sales
close on 8 October. Please email 2040network@gmail.com to buy a £10
ticket or join our mailing list to find out about future events if you can't
make this one.
KNIT AND KNATTER
Don't feel alone during the long winter months. Please come along and join
us in the Snug on a Wednesday afternoon between 1.00 and 3.00pm. Spend some
enjoyable time knitting - tuition is available - and "knattering"
over a cup of tea and coffee. Needles and wool will be provided free of charge.
If you make your own way there, your transportation back home can be arranged
when required. A suggested donation of £1 towards the Church maintenance
would be appreciated. All are welcome!
FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3500 per
month. We are grateful for your generous support in collections. If you can
manage a little more from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing
Order would make the handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift
Aid form? If you are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1
you donate.
COLLECTIONS
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £678.54 and the Maintenance
Fund collection to £237.78 - thanks.
POPE FRANCIS'S PRAYER INTENTION FOR OCTOBER

and those who have no voice.
SUNDAY TEAS
Tea and coffee will be served after the 10.30am Mass next Sunday in the Parish
Centre by Jennifer's and Niamh's team.
50/50 CLUB

Boyle, 125 Michelle Morton, 233 Clare Anderson and 234 Michael Sweeney. Well

us know if you change address as all prizes come in the post direct to the
winners each month. The Promoter can be contacted on 469006 or through the
Parish Office on 464063. Many thanks for your continued support of the 50/50
Club.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Imagine
that you had won the following prize in a contest. Each morning your bank
would deposit £86400 in your private account for your use. However,
this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first rule would
be that everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away
from you. You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may
only spend it. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with
another £86400 for that day. The second rule is sthat the bank can end
the game without warning. At any time it can say that its over, the game is
over! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. What would
you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted? Not only
for yourself, but for all people you love? Even for people you don't know,
because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself? You would try to spend
every penny and use it all, right? Actually, this game is reality! Each of
us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.
The magical bank is time! Each morning we awaken to receive 86400 seconds
as a gift of life and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is
not credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday
is forever gone. Each morning, the account is refilled but the bank can dissolve
your account at any time - without warning. So, what will you do with your
86400 seconds? Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in
pounds. Start spending. Choose wisely!

GIFT
AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Holy Mass? Please know that you are very welcome.
During the 10.30 am Holy Mass outwith holidays, there is a Children’s Liturgy
provided for preschool children, children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental

cakes and buns are available in the Parish Centre. At both of our weekend
Holy Masses, we have a second collection for Church maintenance.
ADVERTISER SUPPORT
